Before importing an Active Directory into Security Center, create security groups in Active Directory for users or cardholders who have the same permissions.

What you should know

Active Directory security groups can be used to collect users with certain permissions, such as administrators, operators, or general users. Security groups can also be used to collect cardholders with certain access rules, such as employees with access to only the main door or maintenance workers with access to the entire facility.

Procedure

  1. Open the Server Manager application and navigate to the Active Directory Users and Computers window.
  2. From the Active Directory Users and Computers window, right click the Users folder.
  3. Select New > Group.
  4. In the New Object - Group window enter the desired Group name:.
    1. In the Group scope section, select Global.
    2. In the Group type section, select Security.
      IMPORTANT: Do not select Distribution, you cannot synchronize this group type with Security Center.
  5. Click OK.

After you finish

Add users to the security group.
